Modification of the College of Law Grading System, Urbana T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a modification to the grading system in use in the College of Law. In the past, the college grading system has consisted of the seven grades of A, B+, B, C+, C, D, and E. In the future, plus and also minus grades will be recorded for each letter grade, with the following exceptions: A will have no plus, and E will have neither a plus nor a minus. This change will bring the law grading system into closer alignment with practices at peer institutions. Very modest startup costs, with no continuing incremental costs, are expected. This report was received for record.
